The quotient of any two whole numbers is a whole number

Question

Conjeture ir counterexample 

 

Answer 1

The quotient of two numbers will only be a whole number if the

dividend is a multiple of the divisor ... In other words, if written as a fraction,

the numerator is a multiple of the denominator.

 

Example:  6/3 = 2 because 6/3 = (3(2))/3 = 2   ...  6 is a multiple of 3

              24/8 = 3 because 24/8 = (8(3))/8 = 3  ... 24 is a multiple of 8 

 

There are infinite examples where the quotient of two numbers is NOT a whole number

 

1/2 = 0.5

1/3 = 0.33333 to infinity

3/4 = 0.75

Answer 2

3/5

27/95

33/1967

1/2
